Happy Yule

Hearth in my heart

Lights the Yule night

In my cavern of memory

Winter's arrived

Friendships revive

In this season of reverie

Shadow and Light

Converse on Yule night

In this circle of love's jubilee

An evergreen hug

Joins below and above

In this circle of Yule's mystery.

Thank you.

95: Happy Is a Feeling with Space Around It

12/28/24

Hearth that holds the home’s heart, filled with tall

candlesticks, candles lit as an easier fire,

a cavern of light in the moody blue and polished

walnut of a living room in a vision board. This

winter, which brings surprising thunder and

lightning, also may bring armloads of poetry.

The season makes magic with cozy spells, sliced

citrus and ginger-scented apples, the words

are shadows of tree branches arranged on

snow-fields of pages. We make a spell for a

circle to encircle the tribe, open to the forgotten

and lost, open to wealth found in the giving.

We are evergreen to the core. Our needles drench

our roots in fog, our large limbs become

the yule log.
